Roborock - Q7 MaxV

It does okay. It's still short of my old neato and way short of my Dyson but it does a significantly better job than my S7 MaxV with rubber brush. Notably with hair pickup - where it does as good if not better than the S7 MaxV with bristle brush but with zero tangles. As far as actual cleanup of fine dirt and hair, my ole neato still wins. 

In Au I got the Qreco MaxV for my sister for $829au and thought it a pretty good deal function's for price.

We just got the q7 tf+ NZ variant of this. I only got it as my voimi v3 died. The suction is amazing but it drops it dirt as it rides along or goes over bumps and docking seems to be hit or miss, also removed the mop pad - it seemed worthless having a mop on that model. So far thoughts are that the voimi v3 was way better, even though it had only 2600k kpa vs 10000 kpa. Mind you it was only 499 nzd so 280 USD, maybe I should of got a better one!

To clarify my opinion at least, the 360 visnav is the best robot I've used vacuuming wise. Where it manages to vacuum, it does it extremely well. But the actual navigation efficiency and software parts are some of the worst, meaning it often wastes a ton of time or misses huge areas of the space. The vacuum part is amazing, the robot part is amazingly bad. Making a new robot to drive around the vacuuming parts would have been incredible. Roborock's current Q7 (the newest one, older Q7 versions were not. Gotta love roborock's confusing naming) is definitely made by Picea (I don't know about the q10). And it's mediocre at best. Vacuuming performance is poor, build quality is meh, navigation is adequate, bin design and filtration are absolutely awful IMO. I don't get the praise for the current Q7. Every Picea made robot I've tried has been mediocre at best.

These are inflated prices. SwitchBot was $359 and the Q7 was around $220 a while ago

Roborock Q5 Pro gibts aktuell für 230€ und den habe ich dreimal. Einmal zuhause und jeweils einen im Büro. Bin vollstens zufrieden. Wir haben zuhause auch noch den Roborock 7 Max V der um die 700 € kostet. Aber der Q5 Pro reicht völlig, wenn das zuhause nicht all zu kompliziert ist (viele Kabel oder knifflige Stühle etc.) Wobei man auch hier Sperrzonen easy einrichten kann.

I have the q7 tf, in Thailand and spent about £125 on it and it's been on sale cheaper for like £90. 10,000 suction LiDAR, crazy price.

Get the Roborock QR 798 or Q10 PF/VF or its + variant if you want an automatic empty station included. I'm in Southeast Asia, too! I have had a Q7 TF (similar to Q10 without a vibrating mop and obstacle avoidance) for three weeks, and I love it. I mainly use it to clean hard floors and low-pile rugs. - Q10 has two versions PF (lifting mop) and VF (vibrating mop similar to S8 Max and Saros 10). The + variants included the auto-empty station. - QR 798 is similar to QRevo S but slightly cheaper at least in my country 🇮🇩 - Xiaomi X20+ quite similar to Dreame L10 series and cheaper than QR 798 and L10 (in 🇮🇩). It already has obstacle avoidance features, but unlike Roborock Q7TF and Q10 PF/VF, it doesn't have an anti-hair tangle feature. - Xiaomi X 20 Max - Dreame L10s Ultra gen 2 All these robots use structured light sensors for obstacle avoidance. Unlike the AI camera sensor, it performs less than the latter. Structured light performs worse in detecting very small objects or objects on a high pile and carpet with complex patterns.

Maybe try the Q10V+ because you could save some money. I have a cheaper Q7 TF, which is basically Q10 PF/VF without a vibrating mop pad and obstacle avoidance sensor. It did a good job as a hard floor sweeper even in quiet settings, and it already has anti-hair tangling features, which, in my case, I never had a single human hair strand stuck for three weeks.

Oh, that's the Australian version of Q7 TF (Asia), Q7 L5 (Canada), and Q7 M5 (US). I have Q7 TF for 4 months and it works great for me. Mine has larger suction power (10000 Pa) vs Q7b (8000 Pa). The anti-tangle brush works great for human hair (but idk for pet hair since my cat is always outside). The mopping is ancient like a Swiffer, but the electronically controlled water pump valve is better than the passive/gravity one in the older Q5. I would like to have the plus version, but at that time it was out of stock, so I took one without the self-empty dock.

This and a stick vac to spot clean is what I have

I loved the MaxV last year, it felt very modern at the time. A number of features around nav and sweeps have happened since then, so it feels a little out of date. But... I haven't tested all these subvariants of the Qrevo listed above. The arc looks like the Curv.... so not sure why its named differently.
